I just got the game yesterday and I'm really enjoying it so far. But crap whenever Hope calls in to tell you something or Light has an inner monologue I'm afraid to move in case it interrupts the convo and I miss out on something like hints for a quest or something.

I'm in Yusnaan right now going through the industrial zone and Hope calls in every few steps(at least that's how it feels) to tell me something about the fal'cie or Snow, stuff I would like to listen to. But not only are enemies spawning left and right pausing the conversation when in battle, bu sometimes even when standing still Hope drops the current conversation to tell me something about a Chaos infusion but he doesn't even get to finish that one because he now has to tell me something about the fal'cie again...

I guess I just needed to went, it's just such huge pet peeve of mine, I wouldn't mind it so much if there was a text log or something.

It's good to know I'm not alone in this. It doesn't help the issue that due to the time limit I want to constantly on the move (not that it stresses me, I just want to be efficient) but Hope talks so slow and has these awkward pauses between sentences that makes it feel like I'm waiting for the staring gun in a race or something to be able to continue the game.

By 2014 one would think a company like Squeenix would have mastered this stuff but then again maybe the lines are much shorter in Japanese and it's due to localization that this problem exists.

Yusnaan in particular is really bad about those calls. First, at the industrial area, where you get one just after giving the ticket, and then another as soon as you set foot inside, and plenty inside. Then, the whole blow the statue to get into the palace quests, you get a lot of calls in a short time every time you have to interact with the door (the one that needs the ID).

And even in the palace you get a lot of calls (and a lot of fights to interrupt said calls).

Don't worry; your manhood will be safe even if one of the PCs in the next game wears pink. Get over it. - EvenSpoonier
